minus-square@leftzero@lemmy.mllinkfedilink69•edit-22 years ago extremely rare rocks Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth’s crust… 90% of all rocks are some form of silicate…
minus-squareTigrisMortelinkfedilink24•2 years agoThe gold involved is minuscule. So much so that it isn’t really economic to strip it from the components.
minus-squareTigrisMortelinkfedilink11•2 years agoNo, gold isn’t really anywhere near as rare as you’ve been led to believe. Just like diamonds. And no “rare rock extraction” is involved in making silicon chips. The claim carries no water at all.
minus-square@leftzero@lemmy.mllinkfedilink10•2 years agoNo, no, they actually do use plenty of water, if I’m not mistaken, for cooling and such.

Gold isn’t tho

Still rare rock extraction

That doesn’t carry it as the pipes have no bucket.
